Serving The Broccoli Gods: True Tales And Tips From A Nutritionist On A Quest

By Mary Purdy, MS, RDN

Serving the Broccoli Gods is a collection of intimate, funny and candid personal essays about life as a dietitian, interspersed with helpful and relevant nutrition tip side bars so you laugh a little AND learn a little!

From the turning point event that catapulted Mary from gritty New York City actor to kale lovin’ Seattleite nutrition professional, to her awkward Cheerio encounter with a patient’s two-year old son, the book showcases the humorous and sometimes rocky path of what it means to become the best version of your professional self.
